I'm ready to believe that pipewire is imperfect (although I have personally experienced no crash, and did not have to configure anything), but the sentence from the original post is:

> Therefore, I naturally omit the use and configuration of additional audio layers in the form of a Jack server, PulseAudio or the unfortunate PipeWire from RedHat.

I cannot understand this sentiment. I have used all three for years each. If I had to qualify one as "unfortunate", it would certainly not be PipeWire (nor would it be Jack for that matter).

> performance is not that great compared to pulseaudio and jack ..

Jack makes different trade-offs by default, so for some definition of performance, yes, one could see it as superior to PipeWire. But in my experience PipeWire is better than PulseAudio on all axes (at least: latency, CPU usage, resampling quality).

Right? PipeWire is the best.

Yeah, but it could still be better. I use it every day, and I wish it was better.
